Keith Hennessey wrote an excellent analysis of Speaker Boehner’s and President Obama’s statements regarding the fiscal cliff:

I will describe and interpret both leaders’ statements, then offer a little analysis of the two positions together. I need to emphasize that at this early stage, anyone’s interpretations and predictions are highly speculative. I am doing little more than making educated guesses; then again, so is everyone else.
